NewPowerIndia patent pending CPV design simplifies structure and uses regular DC car window motors instead of high cost Hydraulics and Pneumatics, no need for water
Uses off the shelf commercially available components. Lenses, Trijunction cells, tracking motors. No reinvention of the wheel
1000 X concentration
Ground hugging, very high wind tolerance, cells fully protected against dust and moisture, can survive floods, snow and storms
40 % efficient Trijunction cells
Highly efficient passive cooling, no water or fans need
Open frame, light weight design, simple installation
Lowest in class tracking power use, simple car window and DC motors instead of hydraulics and pneumatics
0.05 degrees tracking accuracy. Two degrees of freedom
No site specific data needed
Out of box solution, no initial setups or data calibration required
System can reorient itself from any position
Highest efficiency among all Solar technologies, unit efficiency projected to 35%
Modularity and Scalability of design
Cost effective approach, lower costs
Higher output per unit of land area consumed
Upgradable by simply replacing cells, only 20 % reinvestment unlike 100 % in regular PV
Quick and Easy installation
Potential for heat-electric output. The waste heat being dissipated can be used for heating water and generating hot water.
As efficiency of cells increase, less amount of heat will be generated as waste heat. This means that with improvement in technology resources spent on heat dissipation would reduce delivering a dual cost improvement
Reverts to original position at end of day
Can work in uneven terrain, no major ground setup required
